Omg hiccups n burps.!!! Help

That is a pretty vague post. Going by what little you typed, I am going to assume that you are relatively fresh post op. Most likely in the regular food stage. Probably eating too much and/or too fast and not weighing/measuring your portions.

Trapping air from eating too rapidly causes the burps and belching. Eating too fast also means you will miss a signal saying you are full and will eat more than you should and that is when the stomach starts to spasm and the diaphragm gets involved with the hiccups. Measuring your food will help if you are a fast eater due to you stopping when the food is gone rather than eating until you think you are full.

Or I could be way off and you are talking about something entirely different.

I'm guessing you are a week or two out. I had lots of hiccups. They'll pass.

Not sure where you are in the process but fresh post op I had pretty bad hiccups every time I ate. I spoke to my surgeon and he said it was normal and it would stop and it did. Now I don't get hiccups any more often than prior to surgery though I do burp much more.

that happens when I've eaten too much or too fast. I hate it!

I'm three days out and just started hiccuping and burping too. I'm not supposed to use straws, but I feel like I swallow more air when I sip than I would if I were using a straw!

I thought the burping was a signal that I was full

Within the first year post op, the nerve endings in the stomach are still healing and trying to re-attach. Electrical impulses are not always able to travel to the brain. That is why there are areas of numbness in the skin near any incision when you have surgery. Same thing in the stomach.

With this numbness, it is very difficult to "feel" full or satiated. Many surgeons preach measuring food portions, but several of them don't go into detail as why. This is the primary reason. It is also to train you as to what a normal portion looks like so that it can become a habit.

The reason we burp or have pain after over eating or eating too quickly is because though symptoms are not related to sensation or pain receptors; it is because the volume of your new stomach is at capacity or over. The body will try to rectify it by either forcing it through the pylorus or back up the esophagus. Generally speaking, the lower esophageal sphincter is weaker than the pylorus, so the gas escapes quicker via burping. Of course, this is also why vomiting occurs. However, if one continues to over eat or eat too quickly, the pylorus can weaken and start allowing food into the intestines without being digested properly. This is a bad thing BTW.
